Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Frenzied Quest for the Pathway Powder

“Eighty thousand.”

Liu Qingxian was dumbstruck.

Jiang Fan held down the Little Jade Lion and let his voice carry forth.

“Are you crazy? Spending eighty thousand crystal stones on this?”

What did eighty thousand crystal stones mean?

Even an elder would feel immense pain in parting with such a sum, yet Jiang Fan didn’t hesitate to shout it out.

And what he was buying was a piece of defensive armor.

Among the myriad of magic artifacts, defensive armor was the least valued.

With that much money, wouldn’t it be better to buy some powerful offensive magic artifacts?

Jiang Fan calmly replied: “Facing a beast tide, killing countless beasts comes second.”

“Saving one’s life is the primary task.”

“Spending eighty thousand crystal stones for a life, I think it’s worth it.”

In his mind,

this was even more important than healing pills.

Liu Qingxian had no argument, she could only display a painful expression: “You really don’t treat money as money!”

A commotion echoed below among the guests.

“Who is in Box Number One? Daring enough to compete with the Giant Sect for an auction item? Don’t they know how domineering the Giant Sect is?”

“Do you have some misunderstanding about Box Number One?”

“The ones who can enjoy Box Number One, aren’t they either a sect elder or high-level officials from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?”

“You should be asking, does the Giant Sect have the guts to fight against the one in Box Number One.”

Sure enough.

The Giant Sect’s box remained silent for a while, then an aged voice rang out:

“Friend in Box Number One, we of the Giant Sect will yield this armor to you.”

Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Box Number One had indeed saved him a lot of money.

If not, the other party wouldn’t have given up so easily.

The price could have possibly exceeded a hundred thousand.

Chen Luoyue brought the armor to Box Number One with delight.

“Young Master Jiang, thank you for your patronage.”

Jiang Fan smiled as he brought out the crystal token.

Originally, he did feel a pinch.

But upon thinking that the money all came at a hiked price from the Supreme Elders, he felt instantly relieved.

He was spending the Supreme Elders’ money.

Why feel pain?

Seeing the crystal token, Chen Luoyue couldn’t help but secretly marvel.

Jiang Fan was indeed an extraordinary person, even having the crystal token used by elders, sect masters, or senior officials of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

She carefully accepted it and returned with twenty thousand crystal stones to him.

Leaving the armor behind, she retreated backward and left.

The auction items that followed were nowhere near as thrilling as the first one.

He didn’t make another bid.

Until Chen Luoyue brought out the Gale Pearl.

The auction room surged with excitement again!

“It’s the Gale Pearl! A single step to cross ten yards’ Gale Pearl!”

“This is an extremely rare treasure in heaven and earth!”

“When facing a beast tide, this is an unrivaled life-saving divine artifact!”

“Ten thousand crystal stones, my Huang Family wants it!”

“Dream on! You can’t even get it for ten thousand crystal stones in normal times, and now with the beast tide looming, you think you’ll get it for ten thousand?”

As expected.

When Chen Luoyue announced a starting price of ten thousand.

Various sects and families began increasing their bids.

Finally, with the sound of the auction hammer hitting thrice.

“Giant Sect, twenty thousand crystal stones, congratulations!”

Liu Qingxian murmured: “It actually sold for twenty thousand crystal stones!”

She touched the other Gale Pearl hanging from her neck.

Unable to resist gazing at Jiang Fan, her eyes and heart were filled with sweetness.

Soon after.

Chen Luoyue came over with nineteen thousand crystal stones.

“Young Master Jiang, others take a ten percent commission, but I applied to the president to take only a five percent commission from you.”

This saved one thousand crystal stones.

Jiang Fan nodded: “Thank you.”

The auction was reaching its final stages.

The items presented next would all be heavyweight treasures.

With these nineteen thousand crystal stones, he could participate to his heart’s content.

This time, it was Su Xiangquan’s turn to come on stage.

He took out a bottle of pills, raised his head, and said: “This is the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s third-grade healing spirit pill, Hundred Spirit Pills!”

“No matter how deep the wounds, they can be healed within half a day!”

The audience was instantly invigorated.

The claws and teeth of demon beasts were extremely lethal to thin-bodied martial artists.

Such spirit pills that could heal wounds in half a day were life-saving elixirs!

Especially in an environment full of dangers, each pill was equivalent to saving half a life!

“Elder Su, we all know about the Hundred Spirit Pill. Just announce the starting bid!”

Once again, it was the Giant Sect’s elder, speaking with an overwhelming aura.

Su Xiangquan laughed heartily: “Alright, I won’t waste words.”

“Hundred Spirit Pills, ten pills, starting bid one thousand crystal stones!”

As soon as the words left his mouth.

The Giant Sect elder readily declared: “Ten thousand crystal stones!”

What?

The crowd was stunned; starting with ten thousand?

This put many competing forces out of action on the spot.

One pill was worth one thousand crystal stones!

In Box Number One.

Liu Qingxian excitedly said: “Bid quickly, Jiang Fan!”

In her view, these life-saving pills were far more practical than any armor.

Jiang Fan pouted: “Why do we need this stuff? Didn’t I already give you a bottle?”

The effect of the Revitalizing Pill was ten times better than these so-called Hundred Spirit Pills.

Liu Qingxian was speechless: “But the Hundred Spirit Pill is a third-grade spirit pill from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.”

“Could your pills heal wounds?”

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes: “Then give them back.”

Liu Qingxian turned her head away as if she hadn’t heard.

She hummed lightly: “You want to take back a gift? No way.”

Below.

With countless people sighing, the entire bottle of Hundred Spirit Pills was bought by the Giant Sect.

Next, Chen Luoyue stepped onto the stage.

She smiled and took out a portion of Pathway Powder.

“Presumably, most elite disciples are here for this, right?”

“That’s right, it’s the legendary Pathway Powder, a spirit pill to break through the Core Formation Realm!”

“Its effects surpass the pills of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion by three times!”

“The success rate of a breakthrough is nearly ninety percent!”

As soon as this object appeared.

The eyes of all the elite disciples shone brightly, and the accompanying elders all perked up.

They stared unblinkingly at the Pathway Powder.

Obtaining this meant adding a Core Formation Realm martial artist to their sect!

It was worth any price!

Chen Luoyue smiled gently: “Since this item has never appeared before, there’s no reference for a base price.”

“Everyone, bid freely!”

As soon as those words were spoken.

The Giant Sect elder declared forcefully: “Ten thousand crystal stones, our Giant Sect wants it!”

“Hmph! Ten thousand crystal stones for a Core Formation Realm martial artist? Wishful thinking! My Myriad Swords Sect offers twenty thousand crystal stones!”

“The Spirit Beast Sect desires this too, twenty-three thousand crystal stones!”

“Supreme Sect, thirty thousand crystal stones!”

“Desires Sect, thirty-four thousand crystal stones!”

…

The unprecedented wave of bidding left Chen Luoyue ecstatic.

Pathway Powder was far more popular than expected!

Finally, after intense bidding.

The Myriad Swords Sect spent a total of fifty thousand crystal stones and successfully won it.

In Box Number One.

Liu Qingxian was dumbstruck: “The one you gave me before, was it this one?”

Jiang Fan nodded.

Liu Qingxian grabbed Jiang Fan’s shoulders and shook him repeatedly: “Are you crazy? That’s a treasure worth fifty thousand crystal stones!”

“Giving it to me was a waste, wasn’t it?”

“Selling me wouldn’t fetch that many crystal stones!”

Her current feelings were indescribable.

There was joy.

But also an unspeakable heaviness.

Jiang Fan smiled mysteriously: “Don’t worry.”

“It’s not over yet.”
